The return of the best-selling, award-winning economist extraordinaire. Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century was a critically acclaimed, prize-winning best-seller, with more than 2 million copies sold around the world. With the same powerful evidence and range of reference, Chronicles answers questions on subjects ranging from wealth and inequality to Europe and the global economy.
It sets out Piketty's thinking through his analysis of the financial crisis, what has happened since and where we should go from here. Tackling a wider range of subjects than Capital, from Barack Obama to the migration crisis, it comprises the very best of his writing from the past ten years. Translated into English for the first time, it will bring much-needed clarity to our common future and further cement Piketty's reputation as one of the world's leading thinkers today.
Lou is co-owner in the business and is passionate about Venetian history and culture (where his relatives came from).
Eight years on from the banking crisis, Piketty’s calls for financial reform are still ignored. This collection of articles finds him undiminished in his beliefs.
